A new assortment of ceramic bezels

Just a quick picture of some new bezels I'll have at the show this weekend. You can see more here on Ornamentea's web site (scroll down to the bottom of the page). Looks like the weather will be beautiful for the Designers Downtown Market - make sure to stop by and support all these wonderfully talented local artists.
See you Friday or Saturday.

A whole new technique for me.

These pendants are made with old crushed bottles. This technique has been done for years and years, but these are my first trial. The most difficult thing for me is how to crush the glass easily - any suggestions?

See you Friday or Saturday at Ornmanetea,

Lovely Lacy Lentils

I'll have a few of these lacy lentils in Old Penny glaze at my trunk show on September 11 and 12 at Ornamentea. This trunk show is focusing on items not available on Ornamentea's web site, so I'm more excited than ever to post pictures of my new ideas. Keep checking back, and I'll see you there!

More new twists on old ideas.

Cascade glazes on flat pendants.
So far I have been able to keep the glazes from flowing right off the edges, so I am thrilled!

I'll see you on September 11 and 12 at Ornamentea.....

It's Trunk Show time!

It is Trunk Show Time!!!! I'll be at Ornamentea on September 11th and 12th with bells on. Drop by to see the new and the old. Shown here is a old idea with a new twist. I have made ring shaped beads for quite a while, but my production error rate was quite high as it was hard to place the middle hole right in the center. Then one day it hit me - just make them off center on purpose - Ta Da! A better looking bead that is also easier to make. A twofer!! Keep checking back as I post more pictures of new ideas.

I'll see you in September!

Free silk cord when you order a Goddess from Ornamentea!

How great is that!!!! I really love these goddesses and what they stand for:

Thanks for taking a look and enjoy your free silks!

Bead Caps!!!!!!!!!!!

I am loving these little beauties, but have yet to make any finished items with them. If you have send me a picture ASAP!!!

Here is one crop as they came out of the kiln.........

Pictured above is a close up shot of the Bead Caps available on line at Ornamentea.com. There may be a larger variety at Ornamentea so stop by if you are in the area. The color of the Bead Cap on the bottom of the picture is "Old Penny" and is a new color combination that we have some more plans for - yay!


Thanks!
